You should read my blog, because it gives a good picture of what CTG is all about: what you do really matters.
At this time of the year, I always think about the time I was at school (a long time ago! :-) ). The examination period is almost about to start. People trying to get all their books and notes together (even copy some of their friends if necessary), start studying and starting to get nervous (I certainly was!). What I also notice at this period of the year, is less traffic jam!
It is sometimes funny the kind of reaction you get when I talk about the project I am doing at the moment. At this moment, I have a project where I need to give course in Dutch and French for Windows 7, IE8 and Office 2010. The aim is to inform all users about the changes compared with their previous version. I give 2 sessions a day, 2 times a week. That makes 4 times per week the same session. I started in February and will need to continue until July. When people hear that, they wonder whether I do not get fed up telling the same things over and over again. Well, no, I do not!
Yesterday it was a great day! The sun was shining and immediately you feel the difference in the mood of people; they are smiling, friendlier, more willing to help, open for conversation…. How a bit of sun can change human! It gives us a boost of energy and it was about time that she was there! But, as we live in a country where things chance at a glance, it did not last very long….today is a less brighter day :-(.
What a weekend!
Saturday we had a garage sale in our neighborhood. I can assure you that a people gather a lot of stuff during years and it was worthwhile (also for me) to put this for sale. I really enjoyed it! I was at home enjoying the nice sunny weather while selling stuff which I did not need anymore. Surprising how many people passed by to take a look and sometimes even funny what they ask you for sale: old postcards, broken jewelry, broken watches…even death images… (why do they need that?!?).
Most of you heard about it, some of you already participated. Again, it was unforgettable! How we do it, I do not know but every year we manage to find something different. This year we went to Hochfügen and we discovered the “Kristallhütte”. I did not know that something so decadent could be found on top of a mountain!
All those who ski and like to have enough snow, amazing good weather and a lot of fun, join us next year for the CTG ski. I know I will!
Today I received some useful tips and tricks to use for my blog. Thanks Tarcienne!
I thought, let me put the action to the word and start writing something on my blog today!
I hope that, thanks to these tips, I become an expert in writing my blog :-)
Have fun reading it!
IT professionals need a challenge….CTG knows….and that is exactly what they do….providing us challenges!
"A challenge is a general term referring to things that are imbued with a sense of difficulty and victory."
For a few weeks now, I am working on a new project and my job is to train as many people as possible is an as short as possible time period. Let me tell you: that is a challenge!
Receiving information from the customer that people who joined the course are enthusiastic and very positive about what has been learned during the course; that is my victory!
I am sure all of you are still enjoying the chocolate eastern eggs you received at home, at work, at school,…
I certainly am! As I am writing down this text, I am enjoying a small chocolate egg with marzipan filling. And it tastes great!
At work, I presented a nice basket full of chocolate eggs to wish my team members a Happy Eastern and I also treated the rest of our 1st floor. I did not want anybody to have indigestion
But, every time when I see eastern eggs, I also think about the eastern eggs that are hidden in some software programs of Microsoft. Do you know them?
Tomorrow we are leaving for a short ski to Austria (Soelden) . It is organized by CTG. Yes, again a great event they organizing!
For me, it is a yearly event that I do not want to miss! It is always a lot of fun and everybody who ever joined on this ski trip, will agree with me.
This year we are with a small group of participants but the hard core is always present :-)
What can you expect on such a short ski? Answer: snow (which is of course necessary :-), amazing ski tracks, good hotel, great people, laughter, good food, “après ski”, a lot of fun, fun and fun!
Yesterday was our annual CTG ET Party. At CTG, we have an event team. They organize all kind of events (sport, entertainment, kids…) during the year.
This one, the ET party, is a yearly returning event. This year it took place in “De Waterhoek” in Geetbets. It was the first time I heard the name of this little town :-)
After the reception we were invited to attend the walking dinner. We had different choices: Chinese, Italian, Greek, Scottish and Belgian of course. Also the dessert had a lot to offer. All accompanied with drinks at your demand.
